Instructions as Questions

At work, British managers often give an instruction in the form of a question or a suggestion.

Shall we try it this way?: We are going to do it this way.

I wonder if you could…: Please do this.

It might be worth…: Do this.

Would you mind having a look at this?: Fix this.

Just a thought: This is a suggestion that I expect to be followed.

When you get a chance: Soon.
